WW2 US Navy Edward Wulf

Mr. Krupp remembers his friend.

This is my Late Grandfather. This interview is one of the major inspirations for History Documented. It is a corner stone so to speak, the foundation on which I am building.

I was a freshman in High School when he passed, just to young to ask all the questions I have now. Lucky for us my cousin Cori used my grandpa for her history project in the Mid- 90’s. This was the interview she ended up with.

I could never thank her enough for helping save some of our family history. Over time oral history can be slightly changed enough to make it untrue.
